Jo Tan and Edward Choy

Theatre Practitioners

I met Jo Tan and Edward Choy at The Theatre Practice while they were rehearsing for Lao Jiu: The Musical (2012). They already struck me as a loving couple then. At my shooting party, they naturally posed like this for me. This is really them. As I am writing this, Jo just won the Best Actress and Best Original Script awards at The Straits Times Life Theatre Awards 2022 for King (2020), which she performed and wrote. This is a couple, a king and a queen, to look out for.

We’ve had our share of prettified glamour shots, but here, Ngiap Heng has captured a single moment of time that is us—eternally us, undeniably us. It’s something we will treasure for years to come.
